[@tjrugbymuscle]

Thanks for watching! Did this video surprise you or make you rethink your approach? What's your plans for the off-season?

[@nicopostigo123]

Great into anything on pdf format, just joined the 14 day blueprint. Looking to organize my training a bit more.

[@tjrugbymuscle]

I've messaged you there

For me weights are all year long (more intense over winter) Cardio. Movement. Flexability in spring-summer. The game is just much easier the less gassed I am.

[@tjrugbymuscle]

Good stuff!

So I just signed up for a summer of crossfit with the misus, I hope the programming covers a lot of aerobic conditioning hahaha.

[@tjrugbymuscle]

I'm not mad - I'm just disappointed 😉

Do you recommend more running than lifting or more lifting than running?

[@tjrugbymuscle]

Depends totally on the individual and what they need. There is no one-size-fits-all plan here, if you want to understand better I created the Rugby Athlete Blueprint for this purpose, check it out it should really help rugby-muscle.com/14DRAB

@@tjrugbymuscle Ok I will Thanks! Any advice for a pre match routine?

Never been so motivated in my life to go rowing! If I were to add in a rowing session once a week in the off season, what would a good heart rate be to try and stick to? (I do have a garmin watch that measures it)

[@tjrugbymuscle]

Still zone 2. You should be able to talk fairly comfortably whilst doing it

Can this also apply to women, I’m about to start some women’s rugby and I want to train a bit before the start of the season

[@tjrugbymuscle]

Everything basically applies to women. Thanks for watching
